Red

2016 Ridge Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel

9/6/2022 - Shavedaddy Likes this wine:

87 points

plum, leather, baking spices, toast, woody/green bramble. hint of umami hiding underneath. i could be convinced of some red or black cherry. really nice balance between freshness and ripeness of the fruit. good acidity. nicely balanced, but is a touch hot on the finish. med+ length. a very even fade, i.e. doesn't drop of a cliff, but doesn't linger with a ton of intensity either.

i see a lot of love for this one, and it's certainly a good wine. i have a soft spot for ridge and how they do things, just not sure i can get to 90 with this one like some others have. especially at the price.

Re qpr, it's tough. Thinking about the econonics and winemaking techniques, etc. I'm sure they have no problem justifying the price they ask. And I'm sure some of my ratings here i disregard it others i take it into account. Either way i enjoyed the wine very much but i try to reserve 90+ pts for the ones that really make me sit up and pay attention.
